She'd babbled too much. She felt her cheeks grow hot and she looks down into her lap. She had seen that same reaction in the faces of the children she'd found. Traumatized, hurt children. It was clear she triggered something in this boy.
She looks back up at him when he asked about Espers and her smile was soft, a bit sad.
"...Espers are just.. magical. Like ... people shaped Materia, I guess. They all look different, but they all were a close community.. and humans would kill them for their magic, to take it."
The tubes with Espers would always be vivid in her mind because her Father had been one of them in those tubes.
"At least, that's what I've learned. I've never been to the world.. My mother was human though. I look more like her, but my hair..." She reaches up, touching it briefly. "..It.. did look like my father's, green. Like the Lifestream but I guess when I came here.. I feel different. I don't feel like I had before."
She would always be half Esper, but she definitely didn't feel genetically half Esper here. There wasn't the same magic coursing through her.
